How to invite a new user and set permissions

Only administrators can invite new users.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings -> Users (or the equivalent admin area).
  2. Click Invite User or Add User.
  3. Enter the person's name and email address.
  4. Assign the appropriate role or permission set. Common examples:
    • Administrator
    • Staff
    • Read-Only
    • Volunteer Coordinator
    • Finance
  5. Send the invitation.

The new user will receive an email with instructions to set their password and log in for the first time.

Best practice: Follow the principle of least privilege -- give each person only the access they need to do their job. You can always expand permissions later if required.
